“I feel sincerely grateful to those friends and supporters who have placed me in office, and I wish to tell them that I appreciate their help and encouragement.
“With the whole student body cooperating, next year can be made an outstanding period in Trojan student government history. My only request is that petty politics be forgotten and that everyone join with me in making our university a finer school.
“I would like to reiterate my promise of a straightforward, frank, and energetic administration in which the functions of student government will be divorced from selfish interests, and which will be carried on with the sole thought of bettering the University of Southern California. I will do everything that I possibly can to give the student body a worthwhile, constructive, and progressive term.
“Let us always think of our university first.”
Signed,
LawTence Pritchard.

WASHINGTON, May 7—(Ui!)— Borrowing from the baseball idiom. President Roosevelt said in his statement tonight that he is seeking “the highest possible batting average, not only for myself but for the team.”
“I do not deny that we may have mistakes of procedure as we carry out the policy,” he declared.
“I have no expectation of mak-ink a hit every time I come to bat. What I ask Is the highest possibie batting average, not only for myself but the team. Theodore Roosevelt once said to me: if I can be right 75 per cent of the time I shall come to the fullest measure of my hopes.’ ”
President Roosevelt tonight promised the nation he would use the
Inflation powers granted by congress "when, as, and if" neeesaary to raise commodity prices and stabilize the dollar at a lower level.
In a public statement, reviewing his flrst two months in office, Mr. Roosevelt said his administration definitely was pledged to raise commodity prices.
They should be raised, he said, "to such an extent that those who have borrowed money will, on the average, be able to repay that money in the same kind of a dollar which they borrowed.”
However, the president added, "we do not seek to get such a cheap dollar that they will be able to pay back a great deal less than they borrowed.”
Acoustical Talks Will Begin Today
“Acoustical Design Problems* will be the subject of a series ot
three lectures to be given by A. P. Hill, beginning today at 8 a.m. in 159 Science. The other two talk* will be given Wednesday and Frt day at the same hour and place.
Mr. Hill is acoustical superintendent of the Electrical Research Pr> ducts corporation, a subsidiary of the Bell Telephone company, and ia considered one of the leading authorities in the West on this subject.
This lecture will be of especial interest to engineers, physics majors, and architects, and they are invited to attend, stated Dean Philip S. Biegier of the College of Engineering.
Draftsmen To Plan For Vacation Day
The architects will hold a meeting in the College of Architecture at 2:15 this afternoon to discuss the annual ditch day which will probably be held Wednesday, May 17, according to Jack Bornstein, manager.
The definite date and location will b*» decided upon, and th** committees to handle the various problems will be appointed

WASHINGTON, May 7—(Ui!)— Borrowing from the baseball idiom. President Roosevelt said in his statement tonight that he is seeking “the highest possible batting average, not only for myself but for the team.”
“I do not deny that we may have mistakes of procedure as we carry out the policy,” he declared.
“I have no expectation of mak-ink a hit every time I come to bat. What I ask Is the highest possibie batting average, not only for myself but the team. Theodore Roosevelt once said to me: if I can be right 75 per cent of the time I shall come to the fullest measure of my hopes.’ ”
President Roosevelt tonight promised the nation he would use the
Inflation powers granted by congress "when, as, and if" neeesaary to raise commodity prices and stabilize the dollar at a lower level.
In a public statement, reviewing his flrst two months in office, Mr. Roosevelt said his administration definitely was pledged to raise commodity prices.
They should be raised, he said, "to such an extent that those who have borrowed money will, on the average, be able to repay that money in the same kind of a dollar which they borrowed.”
However, the president added, "we do not seek to get such a cheap dollar that they will be able to pay back a great deal less than they borrowed.”
Acoustical Talks Will Begin Today

three lectures to be given by A. P. Hill, beginning today at 8 a.m. in 159 Science. The other two talk* will be given Wednesday and Frt day at the same hour and place.
